Simon Barlow had been going through a rough time lately. With Peter's departure from Coronation Street and the sudden arrival of Carla Connor's nephew, Bobby, he couldn't help but feel like he was being pushed aside. It seemed like everyone around him was moving on with their lives, while he was stuck in a rut.
After Peter left, Simon found himself wondering what to do next. He still had shifts at Underworld, but without a strong focus, he often found himself passing the time by getting drunk at the pub. This didn't help his situation, especially with the troublemaker Bobby around. Bobby liked to joke around, but his presence had stopped Carla from putting in much effort to make sure Simon was okay.
One morning, Simon woke up with a hangover and realized he had spilled beer all over Nick's paperwork. Panicking, he quickly hid the evidence and pretended nothing had happened. When Nick started searching for the missing paperwork, Simon managed to cover his tracks by printing off the papers again and handing them back to Nick at the Bistro.
Feeling like he was being pushed out, Simon's situation seemed bleak. But Leanne, grateful for his help, decided to step in and convince Carla to give Simon his job back. She argued that Peter's departure had left a big hole in Simon's life and he needed a direction. Despite her efforts, it seemed like it wasn't enough, as Simon later revealed that Carla had given Bobby a job at the factory instead of him.
Wanting to do something to help Simon, Leanne offered him a job at the Bistro. However, things quickly became complicated when Bobby suggested a lock-in at the Bistro. Simon was torn between agreeing and risking losing his job, which he had just started.
Meanwhile, in other news, it was revealed that Alex Bain, who plays Simon Barlow, will be leaving the show. With his character seemingly at a dead end in Weatherfield, fans wondered if this was the end for Simon. Would he leave to start afresh, or would he spiral further and cause more trouble for himself?
